is this important for Proxmox ?

 

[LnxBil]

Yes, and already fixed in Debian, which is the base for Proxmox:

https://www.debian.org/security/2016/dsa-3481

Just do an ordinary update of your proxmox installation.

thanks!
with apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade ?

is that enough?

 

[LnxBil]

Yes, exactly! (You can also use the Proxmox GUI for that if you want.)

The GUI Update is without Funktion. I have no a key.
Can i order the Subscription Plans Version COMMUNITY for stable Updates ?

Security fixes are already included from Debian. Proxmox is OpenSource and all packages are available through their testing repositoriy. This repository contain then bleeding edge of their git repositories and can contain errors, bugs and stuff like that. After a while (testing) the files are released into the "production" and subscription-only repositories.

If you can live with the possibility that an update will break your stuff, you can use the testing repository.
